Chemistry Properties and Structure of Matter: Properties of Matter - Gravimetric Analysis Part 1

This video tutorial covers gravimetric analysis, a quantitative technique used to determine the mass of substances in a mixture. The lesson follows a practical investigation involving Señor Ortega and his fertilizer, demonstrating the steps of gravimetric analysis: measuring total mass, separating components, measuring each component's mass, and calculating percentage composition. The video also highlights potential errors and introduces the next lesson on addressing inconsistencies.
